[QUOTE="Malika, post: 414290, member: 11227"] I should add something to my earlier post. And that is that the people who feel the most guilt are often the ones who least deserve to do so - meanwhile, the people who have committed all sorts of horrors and mayhem sit happily with themselves, denying responsibility and blaming others... in other words, the fact that you feel this guilt already marks you out as a feeling, sensitive person who wants and wanted to do the right thing... My words about not necessarily doing our best is just a response to the kind of knee-jerk cliché that says "I did the best I could at the time". I'm just saying that that isn't always the case. And what I was also wanting to say is that if one does feel genuine remorse, that is a real feeling that can drive one to redeem things in a really positive, beautiful way - knowing one cannot change the past but that one can affect the present...
